TEFL Courses in Cape Town | South Africa

Situated on the southern tip of Africa where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet, Cape Town offers visitors a wide variety of breathtaking views and exciting activities. With a skyline dominated by the majestic Table Mountain, there is so much to see and do in Cape Town that you are sure to never be bored during your stay.

Known as the “Mother City”, Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa with a history dating back to the 1400s when Portuguese explorers first noted the region on their travels. The city’s long and rich history can be explored at the many museums that can be found throughout Cape Town. The modern city has a well-developed urban center and is nestled within an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Cape Town has a thriving sports scene with rugby and cricket both very popular and the city hosted several matches in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Water sports such as surfing and kitesurfing are also very popular at the beaches and bays around the city. International sporting events are one reason for the increase in tourism in recent years and this has led to development of the city’s infrastructure with services such as the Myciti bus service being implemented. Myciti bus routes take you all over the city to some of the most interesting and popular sites including; Table Mountain, Green Point, Sea Point, Mouille Point, V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay and others.

In addition to the natural beauty and sporting possibilities, Cape Town has a thriving nightlife that comes alive as the sun goes down. Theaters, music venues, restaurants and bars buzz with excitement as locals and visitors alike enjoy the city’s atmosphere after dark.

The growth of non-native English speakers visiting the country has seen an increased demand for English language instruction from those wishing to study in an English-speaking country.
